The top & bottom of the league meet with a revamped New York lineup at the center of attention.

-- A very slow start with Clay scoring the only points of the period on the 2nd of just 3 jams to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead.
-- Trailing 3-0 midway through the period, New York gets 2 from Tsunoda and 5 from Hill just before time expires to grab a 7-3 lead.
-- If the 1st period was slow, then the 3rd was a crawl with just two jams. Philadelphia agains scores the only points to pull to within 7-6.
-- Morgan comes off the bench to spark the Warriors, scoring 7 of their 9 points as Philly takes a 15-12 halftime lead.
-- Both women's squads awake from their first half slumber, combining for 18 points in the 5th period. On the strength of Forbes 8 point jam, the Chiefs retake a surprising 23-22 lead.
-- Tsunoda scores 5 to start the period and then the men seem to suffer the same sleeping sickness that plagued the ladies earlier, as the rest of the period is scoreless. It's 28-22 Chiefs through 6.
-- New York gets two on the first jam to extend their lead to eight but struggles as Philadelphia reels off 10 unanswered points to move back in front 32-30.
-- Terrigno grabs 5 on the opening jam and the division leaders never looked back after that, claiming a harder than expected 43-33 win over New York.
